Which linear function represents a slope of 1?

What is the equation of a line that is perpendicular to y = 3x -2 and passes

White raven [17]

Answer:

A. y=-1/3x+10

Step-by-step explanation:

Perpendicular gradients(slopes) are negative reciprocals so

m=-1/3 then use the point (6,8) to find the equation of the line

y=mx+b

8=(-1/3)(6)+b

8=-2+b

b=10

y=-1/3x+10

At a certain company, 64.5% of the employees have engineering degrees. Express this percent as a decimal

Verdich [7]

At a certain company, 64.5% of the employees have engineering degrees.

To express the percentage as a decimal we need to remove the % symbol.

To remove % symbol we always divide by 100

When we divide by 100 we move the decimal point two places to the left.

$64.5 =\frac{64.5}{100} = 0.645$

The decimal vale of 64.5% is 0.645

An open box is to be made out of a 6-inch by 14-inch piece of cardboard by cutting out squares of equal size from the four corne

lawyer [7]

Answer:

The dimensions of the resulting box that has the largest volume is 1.3 inches x 1.3 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Card board size is L= 14 inches and

W = 6 inches

Let x be the size of equal squares cut from 4 corners and bent into a box whose size is now;

L = 14 − 2x , W = 6 −2x and h = x inches.

Volume of the box is given as;

V = (14 −2x)(6−2x)x

V =(4x² − 40x + 84)x

= 4x³ − 40x² + 84x.

Now, for the maximum value,

dV/dx =0

Thus,

dv/dx = 12x² - 80x + 84 = 0

Using quadratic formula

x = [-(-80) ± √(-80²) - 4(12 x 84)]/(2 x 12)

x = [80 ± √(6400 - 4032)]/24

x = (80 + 48.66)/24 or (80-48.66)/24

x = 5.36 or 1.31

Looking at the two values, 1.31 would be more appropriate because if we use 5.36,we will get a negative value of the width (W).

Thus, x = 1.31 inches

Let us use the Second Derivative Test to verify that V has a local maximum at x = 1.31.

Thus;

d²v/dx² = 24x - 80 = 24(1.31) - 80 = -48.56

This is less than 0 and therefore, the volume of the box is maximized when a 1.31 inch by 1.3 inch square is cut from the corners of the cardboard sheet.

Natalie consumes only apples and tomatoes. Her utility function is U(x, y) = x 2y 8 , where x is the number of apples consumed a

Kamila [148]

Answer:

16 apples.

Step-by-step explanation:

$U(x, y) = x^2y^8$

$MU_x =\frac{\partial U}{\partial x} = 2xy^8\\MU_y = \frac{\partial U}{\partial x} = 8x^2y^7\\$

Price of apples, Px=$4

Price of tomatoes, Py=$3

Ratio of their Marginal Utilities

$\frac{MU_x}{MU_y} = \frac{Px}{Py}$

$\frac{y}{4x} = \frac{4}{3}$

$y=\frac{16x}{3}$

Since Natalie’s income is $320

320 = xPx+yPy

$320=4x + 3*\frac{16x}{3} \\320= 4x+16x = 20x\\x=\frac{320}{20} = 16\\Also\\y=\frac{16x}{3}=\frac{16X16}{3}=\$85.33$

Since x=16, Natalie will consume 16 apples.
